ARCHIVED - Have you yet come to this realization?

Here I am, laying down on my bed, posting away on Bungie.net as I always do when I am hit with a sudden epiphany. What is that epiphany you ask? Well, I might as well tell you since you've asked. [b]We are the most hardcore Bungie fans out there.[/b] While this may seem inherent to some or not at all to others, let me explain. I have not fully explained my epiphany.
We are the ones that are here, the ones braving the darkness day-in and day-out. We are going to be the ones who can look back a few years from now and say, yeah, that was the committed "us" that stuck it out and waited for Destiny.
We are going to be the fans that Bungie saw were patiently waiting, devoted to their company and able be around even though we are basically a self-sufficient/self-sustaining unit that is keeping the flicker of the lightbulbs on. When all the lights come on, there will be happiness, rejoice and praise amongst us (not to mention new members and a new look). So, relish this time, it won't be here forever.
TL;DR: That is my realization/epiphany. We are the devoted fans of Bungie that will be looked on with a little bit more of a proud eye from Bungie come Destiny time; we will have experience all our own.
Have any of you Screws had thoughts/realizations like mine?

At least Bungie tries to entertain us during the Darkness. So its bearable. I can't think of other developers that do this for their fans. Hence why Bungie > Other developers

I can see it now.
[i]"You're not a true fan if you didn't live through the darkness."[/i] [/quote]I can see that too. We will have a whole new level of Elitism. "[b]I joined in 2010 I R TRU Bugnie fan![/b]"[/quote]I can already imagine the amount of threads people will make about it.[/quote]If anyone makes that thread I'll put a bullet in my head.[/quote]
I'm going to be that guy, just for this comment lol.
*thread saved to remember myself of this*

DeeJ said we would be rewarded for our loyalty.
Destiny is going to be great :)[/quote]
Not really rewarding us is it.
If it is a good game then it is a good game and Bungie will profit from sales. People who buy the game don't have to be members of Bungie.net so releasing something good and saying "There you go. That is your reward" is like giving cake to the whole class because two of them know their 7 times tables.
Actually not even that. It isn't [i]'giving'[/i] at all, its like selling cake to the class[/quote]
Communism at it's finest lol. We aren't entitled to anything, but if I get something from Bungie for being a member on their site through the darkness, then I would be forever greatful. [/quote]
This...I hate it when people feel entitled to stuff. I hate when people complain on Bungie day. Some Bungie days we get better stuff then others but still I don't see why people complain. What they give us is free even if its just a wallpaper. They didn't have to give us a damn thing. If they give us something of little significance on Destiny then they still gave us something and it will still put a smile on my face.

So does this mean all those who come after the darkness are our slaves? Kind of like how everyone post Halo 3 was a slave? Are those post darkness going to be the slaves of our slaves?....
I'm going to need more rooms.

The Darkness threatens to consume us all, but the light of the Screws shines bright, and we wait in anticipation for the glorious day when Destiny is revealed, and the Darkness is swept away like dust in the wind.

The concept of saying that we're the hardcore fans because we've been waiting through the darkness can apply to any other period of darkness since ODST was teased. The only different thing about this period is that we literally have no idea what the new IP will be. I won't consider anyone a hardcore fan if the only darkness they've had to endure was this one. Let me know when they've sat through the post-Halo 3 era, the ODST darkness, the Reach darkness, and this darkness. [/quote]I think you're looking to be negative more than you're looking to positive. Stop adding to the age/cynicism argument. As I mentioned, we have become quite self-sufficient. That has to count for something. We are enjoying one another presence and making this period of darkness into an experience all our own. Only [b]we[/b] will have this experience. In that way, I think it makes us, the ones who are here day-in and day-out, hardcore.[/quote]
No, I'm actually not being negative. What I'm saying is that it's going to be hard to consider some members 'hardcore' or any other terms you want to use, when this was the only darkness they've been through. While the past darknesses had their differences with this current one, they were still some form of blackout. Without those past periods putting the current one into context, I don't feel as if newer members can truly say they're hardcore, if this is the only type of darkness they've experienced.

I think Bungie is a great company and I wish them the best in all their future endeavours, but I'm here more for the community. Not saying I won't check out Destiny, but that's hardly my primary focus.
